www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
The atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room is very dull.
Emperor Xuan was dressed in plain linen clothes, standing in front of the huge map with his hands behind his back, frowning, and his eyes fell on Jiannan East Road.
Yan Beixi, Yan Shidao, Yan Haochu, Dong Kangping and Taifu Ning stood behind him, also looking at the map, all with serious faces and silence.
Fu Xiaoguan stepped into the door of the royal study and walked straight over. Without saluting, he said directly: "I want all the intelligence materials."
Emperor Xuan turned around and glanced at him, went to Longtai, took ten pieces of information and handed it to Fu Xiaoguan, "They were all sent urgently from three hundred miles away, including those from Xiaoyulou and those from Jiannan East Road. Urgent document."
After Fu Xiaoguan took it, he sat in front of the tea table and looked at each one carefully——
This Xue Dingshan is really a character!
On December 26, the ninth year of Xuan Li, His Majesty issued an order to send Xue Dingshan’s troops to Xirong to suppress the bandits.
This edict was delivered to the western frontier army on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Wei went to the western frontier camp.
Under Huo Donglin's repeated urging, the 300,000-strong western frontier army left their base on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month and marched toward the western wilderness.
Four days later, on the 21st of the first lunar month, the army arrived at Jieshan Mountain. Going west, it led to Xirongmin Mountain, and going south, it entered Jiannan East Road.
That night, Xue Dingshan invited Huo Donglin to discuss military strategy. Huo Donglin was unaware and was beheaded by Xue Dingshan's masters who ambushed him.
Xue Dingshan’s wife, Xi Hua, sent the first piece of information about Xue Dingshan’s rebellion: Killing Huo Donglin’s master, a bandit from the Moon Worshiping Cult!
The fourth prince, Yu Wenshu, appeared in Xue Dingshan’s handsome tent that night!
The army immediately broke out of camp, discarding a load of grain and grass. Fifteen cavalry went first, followed by 150,000 infantry. On the 23rd of the first lunar month, they captured Changzhou, the first state capital of Jiannan East Road.
The army did not stop and arrived in Puzhou on the 25th of the first lunar month. Puzhou resisted for two days and fell on the 27th of the first lunar month.
Wherever the rebels passed, they only robbed three days of food and grass, but did not occupy the city. They passed by like wind and residual clouds all the way to Rongzhou, where they encountered their first tenacious resistance.
On the first day of February, Fei An assembled a garrison of more than 30,000 men in Rongzhou, and used Rongzhou's solid city walls to withstand the rebel attack for three days.
The rebels could not attack for a long time, so they abandoned Rongzhou and headed for Linzhou.
……
This is all the information so far.
Fei An did not disappoint me, and Fu Xiaoguan was completely relieved.
He had enough time to make a pot of tea and said to His Majesty, Prime Minister Yan and others, "Don't be anxious, come and have a cup of tea."
His Majesty glared at him fiercely, thinking that I am worried to death, but you still have the leisure to drink tea!
When Prime Minister Yan saw Fu Xiaoguan being so calm, he felt a little more at ease. At some point, he, the dignified prime minister of the country, actually trusted Fu Xiaoguan, a young boy.
So he bowed to His Majesty and said, "I think this is a very kind statement from a young official. Your Majesty, please don't be impatient and come and have a cup of tea."
Emperor Xuan came over, sat opposite Fu Xiaoguan, and waved to the others. Dong Kangping also sat down, and everyone looked at Fu Xiaoguan.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't speak. He was really making a pot of tea seriously.
It wasn't until the tea smoke curled up and he poured tea for everyone that he slowly said: "Xue Dingshan has lost."
Yan Shidao frowned slightly, "From Rongzhou to Linzhou, at the speed of the cavalry, it will take at most four days. If Xue Dingshan does not attack Linzhou and goes straight to Jianzhou, it will only take more than ten days at most. He Leaving Rongzhou on the fourth day of February, the fastest time to arrive in Jianzhou is February 16th, which is tomorrow. However, Yu Chunqiu's troops will need three days. He is faster than Yu Chunqiu. Seize Qipanguan at least two days earlier!"
Fu Xiaoguan smiled calmly, "Master Yan ignored Fei An."
"Fei An doesn't have any cavalry, so he can't catch up with Xue Dingshan."
"Fei An does not need to chase."
"How can we solve it?"
"I believe Fei An will be here..." He stood up, walked to the map, looked at it carefully, and placed his finger on Ronglin Avenue.
"Fei An only needs to block Xue Dingshan's 150,000 infantrymen at Ronglin Avenue to delay Xue Dingshan's cavalry."
He turned to look at Emperor Xuan and others, "Xue Dingshan's strategy is to support war with war. One hundred and fifty thousand cavalrymen need a lot of food and grass to eat their horses, but his cavalry only robbed three days of food and grass. This is not true for him. In his plan, he had to rob Rongzhou every two or three days, so he would definitely rob Linzhou.
He was not sure that he could capture Linzhou, because the battle of Rongzhou preceded Linzhou by several days, so Linzhou would definitely be prepared. Therefore, Xue Dingshan's best way is to grab the counties under Linzhou's jurisdiction.
And I believe that Fei An came from Jianzhou. He will definitely make some arrangements when he passes through these state capitals. If my prediction is correct, all the grain and grass from the counties under the jurisdiction of these state capitals will be sent to the state capitals for safekeeping. , which is equivalent to a strong wall and a clear field.
Xue Dingshan did not dare to advance easily because he could not get enough food and grass in various counties. Therefore, Yu Chunqiu's troops will arrive at Qipanguan at least three days earlier than Xue Dingshan.
What is more likely is that Yu Chunqiu will lead the Qingqi to Qipanguan first, and the red cannon and other materials will be delivered later. In this way, Xue Dingshan's forward only had 150,000 cavalry, and it was impossible for him to win the seventh round. He has to wait until the follow-up of 150,000 infantry... This will take at least ten days, and I believe these infantry will probably be dragged to death by Feian. ”
Fu Xiaoguan walked back to the tea table, drank a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "So, don't be nervous about this battle. Xue Dingshan is asking for his own destruction."
It seemed that this was the case. When Emperor Xuan and others heard this, they felt a lot more at ease.
But will the direction of the war really go as Fu Xiaoguan predicted?
We need to wait for follow-up information.
Just when everyone was feeling a little more relaxed, a burst of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the door of the imperial study room.
"Urgent report! Urgent report from the front line!"
Damn it, this time even Fu Xiaoguan's heart was aroused. He was able to ride in with an urgent report. This is an urgent report. Could it be that I made a wrong prediction?
Eunuch Jia stepped outside the door, stretched out a hand and landed on the head of the rushing horse. A sergeant fell from the horse. Eunuch Jia caught him and handed it to Jia Eunuch. The father-in-law wrote a red-headed official document and then fell to the ground.
Eunuch Jia delivered this official document to Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan opened it and his face turned pale instantly.
Fu Xiaoguan was shocked when he saw the official document falling from Emperor Xuan's hand.
Yan Beixi grabbed the official document, glanced at it, and almost fainted.
Emperor Xuan sighed and closed his eyes, "Is it possible that our Yu Dynasty will be destroyed today?"
